Beginning the festival journey at Kings Cross, we launch the unique new Inspiral Trail map. Introducing the Inspiral team - Charlie Fox will discuss the final shape of the walk, its design, by presenting our first paper publication of the spiral trail. Using the topography of the city and its complex transport infrastructure as a grid on which the spiral energy of the city is mapped out as a neverending unfolding, spiralling in and out. This InspiralLondon map acts as a guide to the 36 segmented trail - each section easily accessible by public transport links. On the night we will be exploring how the energy at Kings Cross resonates and links with forces acting upon the edgelands of the metropole; particularly the serpentine Thames as it winds along toward its marshy estuary, but other layerings, correspondances and connections. All folded into an idea of walking the city as a way to begin to change it together.

Then, we are delighted that Inspiral Director Anne Robinson will be talking about her new work Darks and on being a flaneuse - ‘Only One’s a Wanderer - inspired by the lost terrain of Kings Cross recent past.

This introduction to InspiralLondon Trail and the Night Walking Festival will culminate with unique ‘Night Walking with Dickens – The road home’ guided by Keith Turpin as we head from the spirals centre toward Kent. Taking in Old St Pancras then heading south to cross the north city and end at Southwark Bridge. Ticket holders for this event are invited to join this guided walk for free. Scheduled to finish around 10.45pm. Near to Southwark Bridge

There will be some Inspiral refreshments both at the Place and along the walk. Inspiral maps and merchandise for sale.
